Extreme Solution

Ban Abortion

NJ could adopt an extreme solution by creating even more restrictive laws to make abortion less available. However, because of the precedent upheld by the Roe v. Wade case, in order to keep constitutionality within state laws, NJ would adopt this solution via state hospital abilities and financials. 

 

 

What This Solution Would Do: 

  • Prevent hospitals from providing information about abortion procedures and abortion related drugs

  • Implement mandatory counseling against abortion procedures preceding a 24-hour waiting period

  • Prevent NJ hospitals from offering abortion-related surgical procedures

  • Adopt policies of other states, such as a ban on partial birth abortions

  • Cease all public funding of abortion in NJ

  • Allow abortion procedures under extraneous circumstances including rape, incest, saving the mother's life (state will designate specific funds and locations for these procedure

 

This soultion would allow NJ to become more restrictive concerning abortions, publicize new abortion laws which will be available at any medical facility, and lower abortion rates significantly due to the lack of available procedures. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pros

 

  • Banning abortions is more cost efficient for the potential mother because abortions result in $400-$550. This promotes alternative solutions including adoptions which are little to no cost for mothers (Monahan 1).

  • This eliminates health risks invovled in abortion procedures including long term medical infections and short-term health problems with sterility, bleeding and scarring

  • More state-orientated funds will be alloted allowing the 14% of state funds which are spent on abortions to be towards the betterment of the state ("Abortion Procon.org" 1)

Cons

 

  • Current technological advances in abortions continue to prove that women are not being exposed to lasting health complications

  • Many public donors are able to cover the cost for abortions at private clinics, resulting in no interference of state funds

  • Abortion reduces welfare costs for the Congressional Budget Office found that an anti-abortion bill would increase the federal deficit by $225 million over nine years (ProConorg 1)

  • This solution is less likely to gain public or federal support given that 52% of NJ counties have an abortion clinic

  • NJ will experience an increased population which will result in shared services, decreaseing the quality of care for the general population
